Meet our Pastor

Join us in welcoming The Rev. Rebecca Blair to St Anne’s Episcopal & Zion Lutheran. She will preach her first sermon at Zion on October 16, 2022.

 

Rebecca will be moving to the Central Valley from Exeter, New Hampshire where she and her husband are currently residing. Since 2020, Rebecca has been serving as Interim Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Prior to that she was the Bridge Priest (interim) for St John’s Episcopal Church in Saugus, Massachusetts and the Chinese Congregation at the Cathedral in Boston. From 2003-2018, Rebecca served as the Rector for St Andrew’s Episcopal Church in New Bedford, Massachusetts where she helped the church to grow and develop relationships with community partners. From 1995-2003, Rebecca was the Rector for Emmanuel Church in Cumberland, Rhode Island where her work was to grow the congregation and to rebuild the church school.

 

Rebecca was ordained a transitional deacon in 1988 in the Diocese of Massachusetts and ordained priest in 1989 in the Diocese of East Carolina.

 

Rebecca and her husband have adult children and grandchildren on the west coast, and look forward to being in the Central Valley.

 

Pray for our new Minister.
